LA flushing radiator, Frozen engine block bolt

Well I started to flush the radiator, found the drain plug on the main radiator ( there are three sandwiched together, what's up with that?) Then the manual said to drain the engine block coolant. I looked at the various bolts, and one of them had a black bushing looking deal that had a hose coming out of it going to one of the radiators. I tried various methods to pull it off without even a budge. I know if i break this bolt, It would be disasterous, not to mention, I'm not even sure I got the right bolt. Any Ideas? Thanks for a great forum!

It sounds like you're looking in the wrong spot. The engine block drain plug is located behind the driver-side engine mount. Underneath the spark plugs. It has a square head.
